NINDS Know Stroke home page

Another great resource for Stroke Awareness Month (or any time) is the NINDS Know Stroke home page from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health.

According to the Web site, "in 1999, the NINDS began developing the Know Stroke campaign to help educate the public about the symptoms of stroke and the importance of getting to the hospital quickly. The campaign includes outreach to consumers and health care professionals using mass media, grassroots outreach, partnerships and community education."
